Shao Jun, now a rural teacher of Dongshan primary school, lost his right arm 25 years ago in an accident as a migrant worker. 

Thirteen years ago, Shao started work as a teacher at the Dongshan Primary School located in the Yinping Mountain in Sanbing County, Chaohu city in eastern China's Anhui province. At the primary school, there are only two teachers and 13 students, with 10 in the first grade and three in the second grade. Shao teaches all the courses for the three students in the second grade.
